Shane Cansdell-Sherriff should boost Burton

Shane Cansdell-Sherriff should be back in contention for Burton when the League One leaders host Sheffield United.

Cansdell-Sherriff missed Saturday's victory at Chesterfield with a minor injury but he trained on Monday and could replace Anthony O'Connor in central defence against the Blades.

Brewers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will keep any other changes to a minimum but Jerome Binnom-Williams is pushing for a recall after his injury-time winner at the weekend.

Callum Reilly has a knock and remains a doubt while Zeli Ismail is back in training, although the on-loan Wolves winger will not be rushed back from the knee injury he sustained during pre-season.

Sheffield United will be without defender Craig Alcock, who sustained a bruised hip and ribs during Saturday's home win against Doncaster.

Alcock made his first league start of the season but was withdrawn at half-time and replaced by Keiron Freeman, who could return to the starting line-up.

Midfielders Paul Coutts and Ryan Flynn hope to continue after making their first league starts at the weekend and defender Terry Kennedy is closing in on a return to action after a knee injury.

Boss Nigel Adkins has no other new injury worries, while teenagers Che Adams and Louis Reed are pushing for recalls.
